My parents were born in El Salvador and lived there until they were 17 when they decided to come live here in the United States. When they first moved here, they lived in California for 5 years and my parents worked some insufficient jobs during that time. My mother worked as a cook in a taco restaurant, at a clothing factory, and sometimes she even babysat on the side for extra money. My father on the other hand, worked only one job which was cleaning offices. Eventually, they moved here to…
prevail through the nineteenth century. In Johnson v. M’Intosh, the Court ruled that the government, not private citizens, could directly purchase land from Native Americans. The question of the priority of the federal government in negotiating with the Tribal Nations would reemerge multiple times within the century.

Thinking about all these scenarios can remind us of sci-fi movies, but there is a good possibility that all or one of these scenarios might happen. American officials, as well as…
“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”- John C. Maxwell. You are given the key to the United States, with this key comes great power. Do you believe you would use that power to help, defend, and treat others? Or would you use it selfishly? When people are given a leadership role, it can sometimes be uncertain what can happen. For example, Adolf Hitler was a leader who many believe was the worst leader in history. He was a man who thought of himself and world…
1. In 1986, I was born in Angeles City Philippines. The City was once called “The City of Angels,” but it never turns out like that during my time, because of crimes happening left and right. 2.
